occupation: assistant horse trainer / certified nursing assistant

residence: edmonton, alberta, canada

summary: i was born in montreal, canada and have lived in several places in north america, but call the edmonton, alberta area home. married for nearly six years, i met the love of my life at school in idaho. while most couples give their parents grandchildren, ours so far have grand-puppies, cooper (who does not stay still long enough to be photographed!) and duchess (who is so named because she's spoiled!), 3 and 1 ½ year old maltese. i love to travel and have even lived in saudi arabia for a month, but there is no place like the canadian rockies here in alberta. we bought a fixer-upper a couple of years ago and have been working on it since, which means most of my stuff, i.e. pictures, are still packed away in storage. i'm learning digital photography, another reason why i don't have many pictures; i'm taking them instead of being in them. i also love to do crafts, especially wood crafts, love a wide range of music, movies and theatre and am considering going back to school to study aesthetics.

my love affair with fashion began at an early age. i had several barbies growing up but did not begin collecting them until about three years ago and have over 30 dolls, most of which are platinum label. i was first introduced to the world of ninimomo a year ago and i haven't looked back. i have seven dolls in my collection thus far and am hoping to add several more in the future.
